On the heels of this stunt, see this op-ed co-authored by Harvard lawprof Robert Mnookin in the IHT as well as this from Crooked Timber’s Belgian contributor Ingrid Robeyns.
Perhaps Belgium will pave the way to the deconstruction of some non-East Bloc states. And why not, especially under the umbrella of the EU? How sentimental can one get about Belgium, and why should sentimentality stand in the way of autonomy values?
Over at aidemocracy.typepad.com/interdependent I wrote about my experience of being in Belgium (as a study-abroad student), and falling hook, line, and sinker for the Flemish independence hoax.
